However, I noticed that about half hour into (maybe forty-five minutes)
the DVD, that the image would start to freeze up, jump around and that
kind of thing. But I assumed that it was a scratched DVD since I have
encountered that quite a bit as well. When taking a closer look at the
DVD, I noticed that there was a perfectly circular grooves impressed at
the center of the DVD. I only realized it for sure after this happened
with two DVDs in a row. Trial and error, I suppose. However, I have
since replaced the DVD player as I didn't want to take a chance that I
would ruin more DVDs. I felt bad enough that I had returned the DVD to
Tower Video citing a defective dvd when it was actually my own player.
Since then I have heard that it is somewhat common especially with older
players.
